Assoc Prof Dr Surasak Leela-Udomlipi, director of the hospital, said later that an old electric fan had caught fire, possibly due to a short-circuit. A handful of staff members were evacuated from the wastewater treatment building and there was no impact on public services and patients at the hospital, he said.
